Hi,

this simply means, that your firebird is not running. The problem with
Mac OS X is, that launchd has replaced xinetd in current versions of
MacOS X 10.4.

If you execute the fb_inet_server process manually, you should be able
to execute your java program.

or

write the following to a textfile in /etc/xinetd.d/firebird

-- snip --
service gds_db
{
only_from = 127.0.0.1
user = firebird
group = firebird
server =
/Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Resources/bin/fb_inet_server
}
-- snip --

and start xinetd.
